HCS Superintendent Clifford Jones is once again challenging students to read! If you haven’t already started logging pages on Beanstack, make sure you start soon because, for this year’s Superintendent’s Reading Challenge, HCS is partnering with the Bojangles Foundation to bring amazing prizes to our top readers!

For another consecutive year, Horry County Schools students outperformed state averages on key academic benchmarks. According to results recently released by the South Carolina Department of Education, Horry County Schools students surpassed their peers statewide on three major measures during the past school year.

After three students from Ten Oaks Middle won first place at the state-level National History Day competition for their group project, they took their performance, titled “The Lowell Mill Girls: Threads of Revolution,” to the University of Maryland for the national competition. There, they won the Outstanding Entry from South Carolina Award. Congratulations, Manuella Bastos, Ella Martire, and Kalli Peslis!

HCS is proud to announce the launch of our Presidential Leadership Partnership with the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. The foundation offers a leadership simulation in which students won’t just learn about history, they’ll live it by taking on the roles of President Reagan, cabinet members, military leaders, and even the Press Corps to resolve an actual historical crisis: 1983’s Operation Urgent Fury.

Our calendars for both the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 school years are now available on our Calendar page.
